Masashi Watanabe, an associate professor of materials science and engineering at Lehigh University and a former president of the Microanalysis Society (MAS) has been recognized by the professional association as a member of its inaugural class of Fellows.
The MAS Fellow distinction was established to recognize MAS members--influential scientists, engineers, and technologists in the field of microanalysis of materials and related phenomena--who have "distinguished themselves through outstanding research, outreach and teaching, and service to the microanalysis community," says current MAS president Rhonda Stroud.
"We take pride in recognizing those among us who excel and lead us toward greater achievement," says Stroud. "Such recognition helps the young see the paths that have been successful."
